In the Greek section, French is taught as the first foreign language with five hours per week, and English as the second foreign language with three hours per week. The program includes preparation and certification for French and English language exams (DELF/DALF and FCE or CPE) depending on level, plus two hours per week of extra preparation for higher-level certificates (B2/C2 and FCE/CPE) on Wednesdays from 14:50 to 16:35. English teaching is a priority in the Greek section with reinforced instruction (three hours per week) and level-based grouping, supported by materials and digital tools. The French program is prioritized as well, with five hours of French per week (LV1) and an enhanced curriculum (DNL/EMILE) aiming to reach at least B2; LFHED is an official DELF-DALF exam center with on-site exams and admission-support provisions for students.
The LFHED is organized around two distinct sections: a French curriculum from preschool through terminale and a Greek curriculum from Gymnasion to Lykeio. The school is open to Greeks, French, and others, and provides the opportunity to learn Greek and French in a bilingual, bicultural environment. There is a British International Section within the French section, adding to the school's international profile. The LFHED has an international identity with 47 nationalities represented among the students.
LFHED uses an integrated language approach across the curriculum (DNL: non-linguistic disciplines; EMILE), with French taught in non-language subjects through modular, thematic teaching. This immersion is supported by the two-section structure and by joint projects, exchanges, and educational activities that link the French and Greek sections. The bilingual environment fosters daily use of both languages and broader international experiences.
LFHED is a bilingual French–Greek lycée in Agia Paraskevi, Athens, serving ages 3 to 18. It follows the Greek Ministry of Education curriculum with exemptions that reflect its dual orientation, preparing students for Greek higher education through panhellenic exams and for French universities via Parcoursup. The school is the only Greek establishment where French-language instruction is certified by the French state. It operates two worlds in one: a French curriculum from preschool to terminale and a Greek curriculum from Gymnasio to Lykeio, on a campus. A strong Vie Scolaire supports well-being, with a CPE and eleven education assistants, and guidance on studies in France. Facilities include a large dining hall and the Bibliothèque Centre Documentaire (BCD) with about 12,000 works. The AES after-school program provides activities in French and Greek, including sport (swimming, tennis), arts, and robotics. Erasmus+ exchanges and a Model United Nations program enrich student life for all.
